Yesterday, the guys on the radio spoke of the possibility that we might have the lowest high temperature ever recorded on that date in this area.

I don't think it was quite that cold, but I don't think we got out of the 60s. They're expecting 70s today and tomorrow.

Last night's low was expected to be 50°. It was 49° when I woke up.

As expected, yesterday was cooler than the day before. The temperature probably stayed in the 60s all day, but the deluge of rain never really materialized. It did rain but not heavily and not for prolonged periods.

Today's weather is expected to be a little drier, although we have a 60% chance of rain today. The temperature is expected to barely crack 60°.

Sunday was another warm sunny day with highs that were definitely in the 80s — but I can't say if the temperatures got close to the 90s.

It probably won't be that warm today. Forecasters say today's high will only be 70° with a 60% chance of rain.

Yesterday was sunny and quite warm. The temperature was supposed to get close to 90°, but I wouldn't be surprised if it made it to 90° and even went past it by a degree or two.

Today's high will be in the mid–80s, the forecasters say, then temperature will tumble into the upper 60s (with rain likely) tomorrow, followed by 70s for much of the week.

It was mostly cloudy and a bit drizzly yesterday. The temperature probably got into the 70s for awhile, but my guess is that we spent most of the day in the 60s.

Things got stormy south of us last night while I was in the Richland newsroom, but apparently we only got rain around the campus and my apartment.

It is expected to be in the 80s today and tomorrow with sunny conditions. Cooler and wetter conditions are expected to return on Monday.

Last night's low was expected to be 62°. It was 59° when I woke up.

Yesterday was overcast much of the day — with brief periods of sunshine. The temperature remained in the 70s all day.

It will probably stay in the 70s today, too. There is a chance of thunderstorms today — more of a chance south of us, I guess, although that doesn't mean we won't catch some of it.

It was mostly mild yesterday, but it did warm into the 80s by the afternoon. Some rain moved into the area in the evening, and then it cooled into the 60s during the night. Actually, it was 56° when I got up.

In short, it was a fairly typical spring day in north Texas.

Today's forecast calls for a high in the low 80s and a low tonight nearly 30 degrees cooler. It will be the middle of the week, they say, before the possibility of rain returns to the forecast.

This morning's meter reading is 23428. Yesterday's reading was 23420. My consumption in the last 24 hours was 8 kWh.

The temperatures were cooler yesterday than they have been. My guess is it never got quite to 80°. The nearly constant cloud cover probably kept the temperature down, but it didn't rain. At least, not during the day.

It rained some last evening when I was inside advising the student newspaper staff, but it was done by the time I left, and I don't think we've had any rain since. The chance for rain remains in the forecast today and tonight.

Last night's low was expected to be 62°, and that was the temperature when I woke up.

This morning's meter reading is 23420. Yesterday's reading was 23415. My consumption in the last 24 hours was 5 kWh.

Saturday was very nice. It was sunny and cool — felt more like autumn than spring. The temperature was in the 60s most of the day. It might have reached 70° at some point, but if it did it was briefly.

It was rather chilly when I woke up (much like today). Last night's forecast called for a low of 51°, I think. It was 53° when I woke up.

And it was raining overnight. The rain is expected to continue through the day today, then taper off tonight.
